Caymus Special Selection 2020

Napa Valley power meets surprising elegance in this concentrated, age-worthy Cabernet.

The 2020 Special Selection emerges from the glass with immediate authority, revealing layers of black currant liqueur and dark chocolate ganache. French oak integration feels seamless, contributing spice and vanilla undertones without overwhelming the concentrated fruit core. On the palate, this Cabernet delivers substantial weight while maintaining remarkable finesse for such a powerful wine. Blackberry compote mingles with espresso bean and toasted caramel, supported by firm yet polished tannins that promise excellent cellaring potential. The finish extends beautifully, echoing dark fruit and subtle baking spices for nearly a minute. Despite its youth, the wine already shows impressive harmony between its components, suggesting this vintage will reward both early drinking and extended aging through 2040.

🍷 You want to impress at a milestone celebration with a wine that commands respect and delivers memorable intensity.
